on
your hips – in the bathroom or lift. Research from social

for

Connect With Your Partner
If
you significant other holds one of his wrists
and
raises it in front of his body, he could be feeling hurt
or
sad. “It may appears that he’s adjusting his watch, but
it
could be a sign that he’s insecure,” send body language
expert
Patti Wood. Offer a few comforting words or a hug
so
he’ll lower his protective shield.

a dating site for singles, calls the Reach. Rest an arm
and hand on the table with your fingers pointing to other person.
If you’re not feeling the spark, sit on your hands to conceal
them.
